Spatial planning

Switzerland has a population of 9 million inhabitants, and almost two-thirds of its surface area is covered by mountains. These geographical constraints make land a rare commodity. As a result, the use of land has to be carefully planned.

Land use planning requirements can have major consequences, both for the public authorities charged with this prerogative and for the citizens who suffer the consequences.

 

We assist private individuals, developers, companies and local authorities with the issues they may encounter in relation to land use planning.

Our expertise covers a wide range of services, including issues relating to the oversizing of construction zones (opposition to revisions of municipal land-use plans, compensation in the event of expropriation), construction outside building zones and taxation of taxat gains.

 

In the event of disputes, we represent you before the relevant authorities and courts, with the aim of defending your interests rigorously and effectively.

 

Thanks to our in-depth knowledge of the Swiss legal framework and our personalised approach, we can help you navigate a complex legal environment while maximising the potential of your property projects.
